The queue itself is taking 512Meg of space. The other thing there is a huge

How would one split it apart? I suppose we could have the clients connect to
one IP/host for their mail, but anything coming into the MX for the box

Is there an option in qstat to determine remote and local?
I'm pretty sure it's all remote, and probably all Mailerdaemon.
